“Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she refused to be comforted, Because they were no more” (Matthew 2:17-18).
How sad it is that the world murders and we do not weep. Daily, thousands are killed, and we do not weep. The Lord loves all whom He has made. A tyrant murders and we say there is nothing that can be done. But we can be faithful, even amidst the travail of suffering and pain. But the Lord gets blamed. Why didn’t He stop Herod? Why don’t you let Him stop you from sinning?
Lord, before I cry out at injustice, let me see the injustice which is in me. Guide me according to Your revelation that I may now and forever look to You despite this world’s circumstances. The world loves to blame, rather than to look at their own sin. The world loves to sin away while lamenting how bad things are. Take me out of worldliness to walk with You in the way of eternity.
Lord Jesus, You have come to lead the way. You have come to save as many as believe. You have come to shepherd Your flock. Shepherd me on the narrow path so that I would see my sins before I lament the sins of others. Help me to love them as I love myself, and to love myself by learning how to love the Truth. Guide me even though I am surrounded by a world that continues to murder its children. Amen.
